What have you done to your car today?

Awesome logic you have there. So despite the car sharing most suspension parts with the Civic / Integra you'd put cheaper tyres on because of a badge?
Then not forgetting the ZS suspension setup allows for quicker cornering than a Civic (pretty hard) so more grip is likely needed.

Makes perfect sense... :p

If you'd read the rest of my post you would have seen that I'd actually used some nankang's and grip was fairly good at the expense of a very high wear rate. So they make sense on a car that will be dumped after 6 months.

Fair enough :)

I'm doing about 24k a year so need something that'll take some wear.
Hopefully keeping the car for a good while - I've got a hefty tax bill to shift and running this is helping.

Seems OK for now, anyway :p
 
If you need good life and grip you don't really have any choice other than to get premium tyres, either Continental or Michelin.
 
Popped out to shops, took long way home in attempt to experience new firepower. Car won't put power down due freezing temps. Sucks to be me

I have failed to get my tyres fitted today.... dropped into 1 garage and they said £30 to fit each tyre.

Anyway, when i made this post i got a call 10 minutes later and got told to bring my car down to a garage to get them fitted for £20.

Now i had the new tyres fitted i thought it would be best to clean the alloys up as they was looking a bit worse for wear with the gritty roads and just having some tyres fitted, so they was pretty scratched up.

11pm in my conservatory i sanded them both down a little and retouched them up with some layers of paint:

Nailed it out of a corner of a T-junction causing the traction control light to come up and then it stayed on and it reported that it had failed and to 'contact service' oops! :p
 
Just changing oil and filter on 911, it's currently draining.
Then to clean the maf sensor and element filter.

Then to give car a good cleaning inside and out. :)
 
Took for a service this morning, usual stuff + brake fluid change. Replaced 2 front tyres with Pirelli P Zero Neros and had laser wheel alignment done. Replaced wipers with new valeo silencio flat blades. Came home and gave it a good wash for the first time since early December. Need to clean inside too but after a busy day, think I'll save that for tomorrow when I'm hungover.
